 How often will my child have lessons?
Each string student will receive one group lessons per week during the 
school 
day.  The lesson schedule is on a pullout rotation of six to eight weeks.  
On 
the average, each lesson group is six to eight students by instrument.  
There will also be one special grade level class per week which will meet 
during recess, with individual parental permission.  This supplemental 
lesson will also rotate throughout the month
